Field Of Gold tops nine hunting Irish Guineas crown
Ruling Court just got first run on John and Thady Gosden's charge at Newmarket, with Kieran Shoemark unable to reel in the Godolphin runner and going down by half a length. Shoemark has since been demoted from number one jockey at Clarehaven and the Gosdens' new policy of putting up the 'best available' rider will see Irish champion Colin Keane in the saddle at the Curragh. Field Of Gold's owners Juddmonte have also declared the Harry Charlton-trained Cosmic Year, who steps up in class after completing a visually impressive hat-trick in Listed company at Newmarket last time out, and Andrew Balding's Windlord. Aidan O'Brien will bid to claim a record-extending 13th win in the race via Officer, a course-and-distance scorer in the Tetrarch Stakes earlier this month, and Expanded, a disappointing ninth in the English Guineas after being sent off as the third favourite. Joseph O'Brien's Scorthy Champ seeks to bounce back from finishing seventh at Newmarket, while Jessica Harrington's Futurity winner Hotazhell will make a belated seasonal debut after being a late withdrawal from the French equivalent due to ground concerns. Rashabar bids to end a frustrating run of seconds since landing last year's Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot for Brian Meehan, having subsequently been runner-up in the Prix Morny, the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere and the Greenham Stakes, while Donnacha O'Brien's Comanche Brave completes the line-up. All eyes will be on Australian import Storm Boy in the Group Two Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes over six furlongs, with the Ballydoyle inmate having performed with credit at the highest level in his native country. He will be opposed by a quartet of British raiders in Kevin Ryan's Grand Grey, the Charlie Hills-trained Iberian, James's Delight for Clive Cox and Karl Burke's Lethal Levi.

Field Of Gold tops 12 seeking Irish Guineas crown
John and Thady Gosden's colt came with a wet sail in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but could not catch Ruling Court. It was confirmed on Monday that multiple Irish champion jockey Colin Keane will take the ride this weekend. Field Of Gold is owned by Juddmonte, who have an incredibly strong hand in the Classic with Harry Charlton's unbeaten Cosmic Year and possibly Windlord lining up. Aidan O'Brien has saddled 12 winners of the race, with Churchill (2017) and Paddington (2023) triumphing in the last 10 years. He could field Tetrarch Stakes winner Officer, along with Expanded, Serengeti and Trinity College. But Twain, a Group One winner last year who missed Newmarket following a dirty scope, has not been supplemented. Jessica Harrington's Hotazhell, a late scratch from the French Guineas due to quickening ground, is set to make his seasonal reappearance, while Rashabar, second to Jonquil in the Greenham, is on target for Brian Meehan. Scorthy Champ, seventh at Newmarket, Donnacha O'Brien's Commanche Brave and Paddy Twomey's Currawood complete the list of possibles.
